This semi-soft sheep's milk cheese is handmade in the French Pyrenees. The Pyrenees Mountain range, a natural border that divides France and Spain, is populated by the Basques, a people who have their own customs and language. Although the Basques live on both sides of the border, they produce this cheese on the French side. Amidst the breathtaking, rolling mountains of the Pyrenees, vast pastures stretch as far as the eye can see, providing fertile grazing for milk-producing sheep. P'tit Basque, made from pure sheep's milk, has a slightly oily texture and an earthy, nutty flavor. It comes to us in a whole, uncut cylinder, offering a beautiful presentation as well as a lovely taste.

I had purchased this cheese from another site with higher shipping fees and it took over 2 days, with cheese not fit for consumption. With this company, I received the cheese within 24 hr of shipping ( I was notified and it was still cold) and the shipping was significantly less . highly recommend

The Best Cheese You've Ever Had

Not only is this one of the best I've ever had, but I bought some for family, and they agreed, this cheese is superb. My brother called from Florida and raved about it, and had to cut the conversation short so he could go eat more cheese. Thank you for offering this delightful cheese.

P'tit Basque from the French Pyrenees

Our favorite cheese ever and ordering the wheel from igourmet is so much easier than trying to find it locally. Very mild flavorful cheese that everyone asks, What is this! Love it.

Always on hand

This is one of the cheeses we always try to have on hand. It goes very well with fruit and is a good snack by itself. Also, igourmet's service is great--speedy delivery and excellent packaging. Highly recommended.

Finest example of a Basque cheese

Creamy semi-firm sheep's milk cheese. A perfect reflection of what is my favorite cheese region in the world. Great with any white wine.
